Juliet Gellatley Quotes

“[Describes visiting a factory farm shed where she saw a large male boar, ] his huge head hanging low towards the barren floor.

It seemed to me that I saw in those sad, intelligent, penetrating eyes a plea, a question to which I had no answer: "Why are you doing this to me?"”
